These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This is for a friend of mine who has a 2002 996 Cab. Below is what happened & some background. Total electrical failure on the way home. I was bedding in the brakes, everything was going fine and on what was to be my last run I cranked it up to 110 and hit the brakes. The dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree, the tires locked up and the car acted like it was going to stall. I managed to get it to the side of the road and everything seemed okay after a few seconds – no lights and idling fine. I decided I should get out and check the tires so I turned the car off. Everything went dead the instant I turned the key and did not come back on – no clicking, no nothing. The background is that the car just had new rotors and Pagid pads installed. Also at the same time the seats were replaced with Racetech race seats. The factory buckle was hooked up correctly so the airbag light did not go off. This one is baffling. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Brian

One's loose from having been disconnected to work on other areas of car. Another thing to check is ignition switch. Does your friend have a humongous ring of heavy keys with Porsche key he inserts into ignition switch? If so switch worn out and breaking electrical contact. Also, double check seat installation no wiring pinched/cut by seats. Sincerely, Macster.
